Yes, Mormonism does believe in continuing revelation, and that we have a prophet on the earth today. As for the becoming gods, that would be for those in the Celestial heaven, who have a celestial Marriage and are exalted, they are glorified with Christ, as they take on the name of Christ, the glory and authority they gain is from Heavenly Father and through Jesus Christ. Yes, the fall is believed to be necessary, as the two Commandments of be fruitful and multiply and to not eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil were somewhat mutually exclusive as in a pre-carnal state, man in body, wouldn't be having sex, and so not able to be fruitful and multiply, until after. The Prophet/First President is chosen by sustaining and revelation of the Holy Spirit by the Quorum of the 12 apostles. I believe that was the group.
Yes, there are other groups which originated in LDS, but differentiated themselves later. FLDS and RLDS I think are them. RLDS are likely the ones you speak of, while FLDS cling to certain beliefs like polygamy that the Church no longer allows.

LDS doesn't practice polygamy any longer, though FLDS and some Islamic may, Long ago, some in Judaism had multiple wives, my understanding of the Islamic logic of it anyway, is that you may have more wives if you can support and satisfy all of them. That may be the same case in the others as well, though not sure. LDS is a law abiding religion, when the laws of the land went against the practice, and one of the prophets declared that they would no longer practice it, they stopped, those who didn't want to stop it, and still thought it valid amoung other disagreements, formed the FLDS.
"Polygamy (Plural Marriage)
The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. At certain times and for His specific purposes, God, through His prophets, has directed the practice of plural marriage (sometimes called polygamy), which means one man having more than one living wife at the same time. In obedience to direction from God, Latter-day Saints followed this practice for about 50 years during the 1800s but officially ceased the practice of such marriages after the Manifesto was issued by President Woodruff in 1890. Since that time, plural marriage has not been approved by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and any member adopting this practice is subject to losing his or her membership in the Church."
-from LDS.org the quote.
